Chapter 14 Tied to the Bed

As dawn broke and the first hint of light appeared in the east, the sky began to lighten.

The car stopped, and Luo Tingwei glanced out the window at the familiar place of misfortune.

"get off."

Two bodyguards held her down and forcefully pushed her off.

Upon entering the villa, a maid quickly came forward and took her from the bodyguard.

Li Yanzhou, as if he had just woken up, came down from the second floor, glanced at her casually, and chuckled.

"Weren't you trying to escape? How come you got caught again?"

After saying that, his expression suddenly changed, and his voice turned cold.

"Take her to wash up."

...

After she finished showering, she was taken to his bedroom.

The bedroom was pitch black, just as it had been when she left.

In the darkness, she resignedly closed her eyes, awaiting her doom.

"What are you standing there for? Get up here."

An impatient voice came from the bed.

She knew that getting into this bed now was tantamount to going to her guillotine.

But she's dressed very lightly, and it's so cold standing there...

Suddenly, her legs went weak, and she uncontrollably knelt down, trembling involuntarily as she spoke towards the bed.

"You... why don't you just give me a quick death?"

The man narrowed his eyes. "Speak like a human."

“You can hit me, scold me, or punish me, but the way you are now, I’m really scared.”

What are you afraid of?

Luo Tingwei couldn't bring herself to say it; she couldn't very well say that she was afraid of being tortured to death in bed by him.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Yanzhou guessed what she was thinking and sneered, "I'll count to three. You either come to my bed obediently, or you go to Qin Zhibiao's bed. You choose."

Li Yanzhou leaned back comfortably on the cushions, and sure enough, before he could count to two, clumsy footsteps approached. The next second, the mattress next to him sank in slightly.

Luo Tingwei scurried in like a timid kitten.

The scent of shower gel wafting through the air stirred a subtle flutter in the man's heart.

They still dared to tie him up, tsk.

The poor, helpless kitten is back.

Li Yanzhou flipped over and ruthlessly pinned her down, starting without any warning.

"hiss……"

In an instant, her face turned pale.

The man showed no sign of stopping, coldly asking, "Does it hurt a lot?"

"It's supposed to hurt, there's no such thing as enjoyment in punishment, so just bear with it."

Red marks gradually appeared on my back.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yanzhou seemed to lose his patience and warned her sternly, "How many times have I told you, don't scratch me."

"If you dare scratch me again, I'll have someone cut off all your nails."

Luo Tingwei had no choice but to tremble and clutch the bedsheets beneath her, sobbing softly.

The clock ticks away.

For her, it was like a nightmare, a fall from heaven to hell.

*

The next day, a pink leather rope tied her to the bed.

Although the material was very soft, she still felt very uncomfortable being constricted.

Li Yanzhou sat on the sofa next to her, leisurely sipping his coffee and watching her.

"Don't move."

Luo Tingwei's eyes were red as she pleaded, "I don't feel well."

He sneered, "How can punishment be comfortable?"

Luo Tingwei knew she was in the wrong, so she kept quiet and silently endured it.

Just then, the maid knocked on the door and brought in breakfast.

"Put it down and get out."

Li Yanzhou stood up and took the breakfast over.

"Little princess, would you like milk or juice?"

Luo Tingwei had no appetite and casually said, "I'm not hungry."

The man smiled, scooped a spoonful of porridge from the bowl, blew on it gently, and said softly,

"You're only having this one meal today, so think it over before you speak."

"you……"

He ignored her and instead brought the porridge to her lips, saying, "Come on, open your mouth, I'll feed you."

Luo Tingwei reluctantly let him finish the bowl of porridge, and he even thoughtfully wiped the corners of her mouth for her.

She finally couldn't help but ask him, "What exactly do you want? If you want to hit me, scold me, or kill me, just give me a quick death. Why torture me like this?"

Li Yanzhou put down the bowl, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Don't worry, I can't bear to hit you, much less kill you."

"Since you like to run away, then you should stay in this bed obediently. When I'm in a good mood, or when you behave well, I'll let you get out of bed and walk a few steps, okay?"

"You're despicable!"

Luo Tingwei gritted her teeth and glared at him. "You think I want to run away? I was already prepared to accept my fate, but I didn't expect you to send me to Qin Zhibiao. I heard everything outside your study. Your subordinates were telling me all sorts of things. Am I supposed to just sit here and wait to die, waiting for you to hand me over to that man?"

Li Yanzhou was amused by her resolute demeanor. "I told you, I wouldn't give you to him. Don't you believe me?"

"How can I trust you? I know I mean nothing to you, just an object to be exchanged, not worth mentioning."

Luo Tingwei didn't know what was wrong with her; the more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes even welled up with tears.

The man glanced at her, his thin lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only scoffed.

"Why does it sound so pitiful? I never said that."

What she said made him feel inexplicably choked up.

He had no intention of explaining Qin Zhibiao's situation to her in such detail.

But now it seems better to explain, otherwise she might misunderstand me for the rest of her life.

Luo Tingwei was quite taken aback after hearing his explanation, and looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt, "Is what you said true?"

He tapped her forehead and chuckled, "If you spend the next few days in this bed, then I mean it."

After saying that, he ignored her and turned to leave.

Luo Tingwei only realized she was still tied up after he walked away. She tried to move a few times, but couldn't break free at all.

She couldn't help but call out to his retreating figure.

"Hey, are you really going to tie me up here? Come back! Come back..."

...

By the afternoon, she was hungry.

She thought that was it for today, and that she would have to go hungry until tomorrow to eat, but then the maid came to bring her food.

"For me?"

She asked in disbelief.

"Yes, the young master instructed me to feed you."

Luo Tingwei found the maid's face quite familiar and tentatively asked her, "Could you let me go?"

The maid shook her head and looked at her apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't have the key. The key is with the young master."

So, they still have to be tied up.

Luo Tingwei sighed silently.

As she ate the food the maid fed her, she gave a wry smile and said, "Does your young master have some kind of unusual fetish?"

The maid gave a puzzled "hmm" and looked at her with confusion.

Luo Tingwei glanced at the restraints on her body. "Does he like this? Has he tied up anyone else like this besides me?"

The maid looked embarrassed, then shook her head. "I'm not sure... Young Master rarely comes back, and he's never brought anyone back with him."

Luo Tingwei was taken aback, then heard the maid continue speaking.

"To be honest, you were the first female companion he brought home."
